Keeping out of the sandbox , site transition .

We have a site in the general health area , we are installing a OS cart and vitamin ,supplement content and products. The question is how do we go live with the revised site and stay out of the sandbox ,i.e. not be considered a new site by the main search engine?
thank you

The 'sandbox' is something that impacts new sites, not existing sites that are updated and revised. If the search engines are aware of your site and you have incoming links, you won't have a problem. If you are changing your domain name, be sure to put a permanent 301 redirect on the old domain so that it redirects to the new one. In either case, you shouldn't have any sandbox problems.

As humenuik explained, a sandbox is for new sites only. Updating an existing site is in light of a long-standing domain, and unless the domain is updated, the sandbox is not an issue unless your domain is new.

I am not 100% sure with what humeniuk said.
The sandbox can affect new pages for old sites as well.
One of my pages had that problem for about a year. i guess it was bcoz i was targeting a competitive keyword.

It's always hard to achieve a good ranking for a competitive keyword. That's tough competition, not a 'sandbox' effect.

I trust that you have a lot of SEO knowledge ashishjvw, but I don't believe new pages in an old site runs into a sandbox. It's more likely that optimization is page to page and there are no incoming links pointed toward your new page.

I'm open to discussion on the topic, obviously you have seen a trend and it would be nice to get a better idea of what happined with those sites in that situation

After years of analyzing threat actor behavior, it’s become clear that at any given time there are specific tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) that are particularly prevalent. By analyzing and understanding these TTPs, you can dramatically enhance your security program.

The so-called 'sandbox' is "is an artifact (an unintentional effect) and not a separate component of the Google algorithm" (from the above link). It is a factor of Google's evaluation of incoming links and the trust factor they create or don't create. It is not something that is applied differently for different pages or pages targeting more or less competitive search words.

Creating a new page to target a highly competitive keyword is a challenge and it will take time to achieve a good ranking. Consistency over time and a gradual acquisition of incoming links are relevant to any page's ranking. The fact that it takes a page time to achieve a high ranking for that keyword is a natural result of the way Google works, but is NOT a result of the sandbox. They are two entirely different situations.

Yes but when you create a new page on an old domain and try to get it up on the ranking it goes up or down and with good and continous SEO effort the site ranking goes up gradually.
